Generator Use - Hyundai TG1000i Manual

GENERATOR USE

WARNING
■To prevent electrical shock from faulty appliances, the generator
should be grounded. Connect a length of heavy wire between the
generator's ground terminal and an external ground source.
■Connections for standby power to a building's electrical system must be made by a qualified
electrician and must comply with all applicable laws and electrical codes. Improper connections
can allow electrical current from the generator to back feed into the utility lines. Such back feed
may electrocute utility company workers or others who contact the lines during a power outage,
and when utility power is restored, the generator may explode, burn, or cause fires in the build-
ing's electrical system.
CAUTION
■Limit operation requiring maximum power to 30 minutes.
Maximum power is: 2000 VA
For continuous operation, do not exceed the rated power.
Rated power is: 1600VA
In either case, the total wattage of all appliances connected must be considered.
■Do not exceed the current limit specified for any one receptacle.
■Do not connect the generator to a household circuit. This could cause the damage to the genera-
tor or to electrical appliances in the house.
■ Do not connect the generator to an automatic transfer switch.
Severe damage to the generator and engine will result.
■Do not modify or use the generator for other purposes than it is intended for. Also observe the
following when using the generator.
● Do not connect generators in parallel.
● Do not connect an extension to the exhaust pipe.
■When an extension cable is required, be sure to use a tough rubber sheathed flexible cable.
■Limit length of extension cables; 60 m for cables if 1.5mm2 and
100m for cables of 2.5 mm2.
■Keep the generator away from other electric cables or wires such as commercial power supply
lines.
■Keep all cooling holes open and clear of debris, mud, water, etc. Cooling holes are located on
the side panel, the control panel, and the bottom of the generator. If the cooling holes are blocked,
the generator may overheat and damage the engine, inverter, or windings.
